writing and research

There are millions of freelance writing blogs and websites all over the internet, which makes it difficult for the writer to find keywords that will help make their site stand out from the rest. The words, freelance writing may need to be part of your keyword structure, but you need other, less frequently used words and phrases in your keyword list. Over at the Mom Writes there are some great resources for freelance writersincluding a really useful, and free, keyword research guide that has been put together by Lisa Russell.

Putting the Effort into Your Business

I have read the keyword guide that Lisa has on her website and I have to say that it is really good. If you want to put it into practice it will require some work but it seems to me that if you haven’t already done something like this with your website or blog then now is the time. I know, I can already hear the groans about how much work you have on, but if you don’t do it, you’ll only regret it later. Your website is where you showcase your business and so putting this aspect of non-client time in is well worth the effort.

Anyone who is looking for a tool to monitor their daily, weekly and monthly income should also head on over to Lisa’s site as she has put together an awesome tracking sheet tha she is giving away. If you are looking for a good read with valuable information for writers then I would recommend you take a look at Lisa’s website and then head on over to The Mom Writes when you feel like giving yourself some time off from the money making aspect of your freelance writing business.

My ageing dog enjoys his sleep
And though my writing earns his keep,
He’s not amused when I am writing through the night.

He lifts his head each time I move
And when I’m in a writing groove
You’ll barely see a finger linger on the keys.
His head keeps bobbing up and down
Between his eyes I see a frown
Directed at the laptop sitting on my knees.

If he could speak I know he’d say
“Put that writing thing away, go up to bed
And let a poor dog rest his head and scratch his fleas.”
